Let G^s be a signed graph, where G = (V;E) is the underlying simple graph and s : E(G) to {+, -} is the sign function on E(G). In this paper, we obtain k-th signed spectral moment and k-th signed Laplacian spectral moment of Gs together with coefficients of their signed characteristic polynomial and signed Laplacian characteristic polynomial are calculated.

To determine the limits of human observers' ability to identify visually presented American Sign Language (ASL), the contrast s and the amount of additive noise n in dynamic ASL images were varied independently. Contrast was tested over a 4:1 range; the rms signal-to-noise ratios (s/n) investigated were s/n = 1/4, 1/2, 1, and infinity (which is used to designate the original, uncontaminated ima...

A radiological sign can sometimes resemble a particular object or pattern and is often highly suggestive of a group of similar pathologies. Awareness of such similarities can shorten the differential diagnosis list. Many such signs have been described for X-ray and computed tomography (CT) images. In this article, we present the most frequently encountered plain film and CT signs in chest imagi...

The sign function of a square matrix was introduced by Roberts in 1971. We show that it is useful to regard S = sign(A) as being part of a matrix sign decomposition A = SN, where N = (A ) ’ 1/z This decomposition leads to . the new representation sign(A) = A(A2)-‘i2. Most results for the matrix sign decomposition have a counterpart for the polar decomposition A = UH, and vice versa. To illustra...

The severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV) uses dendritic cell-specific ICAM-3 grabbing nonintegrin (DC-SIGN) to facilitate cell entry via cellular receptor-angiotensin-converting enzyme 2. For this project, we used recombinant baculoviruses expressing different lengths of SARS-CoV spike (S) protein in a capture assay to deduce the minimal DC-SIGN binding region. Ou...

We denote by Q(A) the set of all matrices with the same sign pattern as A. A matrix A has signed null-space provided there exists a set S of sign patterns such that the set of sign patterns of vectors in the null-space of à is S for each à ∈ Q(A). Some properties of matrices with signed null-spaces are investigated.
